I'm Mike, and I make things for the web.

My Professional Life

I'm a web developer living and working in southwest Michigan. I would describe what I do on a day to day basis as front end development, print design, and data analysis.

Lately I've been investing a great deal of time working with WordPress — building themes, plugins, and modifying the backend to utilize it as a fully powered CMS. I've developed and released a plugin that allows you to show the most recent custom posts in any widgetized area on your site.

I currently work as web tech at Corvette Central, and spend the rest of my time on freelance and personal projects.

I'm More Well Rounded Than That

I've lived in Michigan for longer than I'd like to admit, but spent some time in Florida and Tennessee during and after college. I'm married to the only person who could possible put up with me, and we have a few very quirky pets.

I'm pretty passionate about a lot of things, but when I'm not thinking about my job, I'm probably reading about history, political philosophy, and economics. On the off chance I decide to talk about my hobbies and work, I'll probably be discussing woodworking and web development. I like to write about all of this from time to time in the notebook.
